Deck discussion for Modern Merfolk

Dont play Triton Shorestalker, play Cursecatcher instead as 1-Mana card and/or use something with better performance like Inkfathom Infiltrator or River Sneak that both have advantages, at least in power.

Never have seen Smuggler's Copter yet in a Merfolk tribal deck for reasons like bad late game performance, Flying vs. Islandwalk and so on. You will have enougth cards in hand so dont worry about that.

The 2 drop Mana Leak seems ... well ... neat, it might be a dead counter card when played late game and you will mostly not use it/ have it in earlier turns so either decide for something more reliable like Remand or put a couple more of them into your deck/replace them by potentially Rune Snag because it raises worth in late game.

While you wrote it is Modern but did not tag it as Budget; I'm also missing an essential key card Aether Vial in this deck and/or some Chalice of the Void

Deck was on a budget; I wasn't going to spend like 40 bucks on 2 cards

Merfolk in modern budget is playable but it needs some structure to get success. It turned out for me that splashing to White makes the deck more competitive
